3 in 4 companies struggling to recruit
18 July 2022
Recruitment problems have reached a record high with 76% of companies struggling to hire staff, says the British Chambers of Commerce. 6 in 10 UK firms are currently looking for staff. “Firms must find new ways of unlocking pools of talent – by investing more in training, adopting more flexible working practices, and expanding use of apprenticeships,” said its head of policy Jane Gratton.
There are 1.3 million unfilled jobs in the UK economy, and fewer people in the workforce than pre-pandemic. “Employers are at their wits’ end.”
The latest UK unemployment figures are released on Tuesday.
